Chapter 2252: Chapter 2252: The Sweet Love of the Younger Generation (165)
This made internet users believe that the two were engaged to each other as childhood betrothed.
People tend to envy those similar to themselves, but only admire those who seem unreachable to them.
Thus, after the family backgrounds of William Wilson and Laura Jones were revealed, no one dared to claim online that one of them was unworthy of the other.
If anyone did dare say that, they would definitely be questioned if they were worthy themselves.
And just as this relationship was settling, Laura Jones belatedly realized that she seemed to have been deceived.
"Wait, at that time, my mommy was pregnant with my second brother, right? The person mommy betrothed to you should have been my second brother."
One day during a Jones family dinner, Laura suddenly remembered this and softly mentioned it to William, who was sitting on the sofa.
William’s expression stiffened; the little girl finally realized.
"Your second brother was unwilling."
He said casually.
But then, Oliver Jones’s voice came from the doorway, "Who said I’m unwilling? I like William the most."
Standing at the doorway in a suit, radiating the aura of a business tycoon, Oliver Jones said this incongruously, causing William’s face to darken.
Oliver Jones walked toward him, saying, "William..."
"Get lost!"
After Laura Jones’s identity as the eldest daughter of the Jones family was revealed, it caused a huge uproar at the school.
Who would have thought that this seemingly extraordinarily low-key goody two-shoes was actually backed by such an influential family background?
To them, a girl of Laura Jones’s caliber was beyond just the description "goddess."
And once this identity was exposed, few were jealous or discontented with her.
It’s not that these people had particularly peaceful demeanors, but human nature is just that way.
To those similar to themselves, there’s naturally a lot of people unwilling to see others do well.
As for someone like Laura Jones, who is unattainable for them, all they feel is admiration, and certainly never jealousy.
Moreover, with such a powerful connection as their classmate, many people wanted to use this relationship to climb up to Laura Jones.
Behind her stands the Jones Family, the very place they might struggle to get into even after graduation.
Some girls who had previously mocked Laura Jones now regretted it deeply.
Trying to curry favor with Emma Williams, who was just a "wild chicken," they ended up offending the true "golden phoenix."
Originally, they were already resentful because Emma Williams had abandoned them to please Hannah Taylor, and now knowing Emma had offended Laura Jones, naturally, they wouldn’t associate with Emma anymore.
Some even intentionally or unintentionally tried to ingratiate themselves with Laura Jones.
"Laura, look at Emma. She knows she offended you badly before, and now she doesn’t even dare to come to school."
One of the girls, who used to suck up to Emma and cynically mock Laura Jones, came over to make amends.
Laura Jones lifted her eyes to look at her but didn’t say a word.
However, Hannah Taylor, who loved watching drama, looked at the girl and laughed:
"In that case, Emma does have some self-awareness. But you, following Emma back then to target Laura cynically, and you still have the nerve to come to school today, you’re truly bold and courageous. Impressive, impressive."
Embarrassed, the girl’s face turned red upon being pricked by Hannah Taylor’s comment, not daring to argue back.
